…sits there on the southern side – anyone have any info about departure…? – These planes are always so secret…and I can’t sit up there above imperial and wait, possibly for days, so I have never managed to get a shot of any of these Arab country planes…
If you know when it’s likely to take off I’d love to hear about it…! : )

Star says Lohan gets paid around $100,000 for major events and was rumored to have spent New Year’s Eve in London, England with Prince Abdul Azim of Brunei.
I know you’re joking but it makes sense for a “mystery aircraft” to depart at sunset if it’s heading east to Europe or the mid-east. It gets the high mucky mucks to their destination during the day. Heaven forbid that they should get there during the middle of the night like common folks.
…nah…I wasn’t really joking…it makes sense from all sorts of reasons it seems to me…some “secret”, some not…
…I was standing west of LAX monday at sunset…and as I was going to sit in my car I saw a plane depart from southern fields…definitely a “secret” plane…you might know about it, a Boeing 727…yes, but with a modified “bird’s beak” type nose…
…and although I had my camera and I did take a shot and the light was absolutely great, I deleted the shot…reach of tele wasn’t enough…
It’s a “research plane” I’m told…
Military aircraft do come and go now and then to and from LAX and they tend to arrive or leave at sunset or early in the morning…I’ve “caught” them a couple of times…
